Removed with extreme prejudice.

I wonder... if the idiot spammer is leaving contact info, why not sign him up for every advertising campaign you can find? Let him be on the receiving end of a mountain of spam, for a change?

Just a thought...

Likely, they are throw away accounts.

[Dragoncat]

Well, like I said, it's just a thought.

[Mikaze]

I really hope you folks have a "kill all posts by _____" option just to make these easier.

Because seriously. Dis guy....(NSFW)

[Starglim]

babaji363 started up in PFRPG General Discussion.

[Rynjin]

World famous Astrologer?

How could I resist?

Also, I think we need an avatar filter for "babaji" just like we do the little blue people.

[Helaman]

Baba Ji... what a cool character name. May steal it.

Quick get your black magic love before it's too late

[Lissa Guillet]

*punt*

[Spiral_Ninja]

Y'know, he can't be THAT good an astrologer. He can't seem to figure out we don't want him here!

[Sissyl]

Aaaaaand there begins Revenge of Baba Ji!!! I just managed to get out of OTD with my life... Oh God, the carnage, the body parts... *sob*

[The Shining Fool]

But beloved grandfather's services are 1001% guaranteed!! How could y'all doubt him? He's guaranteed 901% more than is possible!

*headdesk*

[Monkeygod]

Yea, I just flagged all 20 or so myself.

[Signore di Fortuna]

So where do they hand out gold medals to astrologers?

[The Shining Fool]

I will personally send you a gold medal in astrology. Just send me $100 (US).

[Signore di Fortuna]

No time...Someone wants to help me with my job issues!

[GreyWolfLord]

Looks like Baba Ji is back and this time currently spamming the Off topic forums hard

[LordSynos]

Under the alias of rishabsharm, to be precise. All posts flagged.

Would it be possible to set up super users who could remove posts after they've hit a certain flag limit? Just a user or two in other timezones. Cause, man, that spam is frustrating.

[Signore di Fortuna]

And another...

[Spiral_Ninja]

I wonder if he does death magic.

Because I really, really want to do something permanent to that...grrrr...JERK!

[Note: not the term I wanted, but these are supposed to be family-friendly forums]

[Chyrone]

Seems flagging a thread refreshes it with a new one.....

Forum games page

[Charles Scholz]

I wish there was a way to flag spam without opening them.
Some like there is for "new" posts or "x" for stop tracking new posts.
An "F" that only appears when there is one post and disappears afterward.

[atheral]

There is a very prolific one In the off topic section now

[Wyntr]

nathji8855 is also spamming.

[Lissa Guillet]

[Irnk, Dead-Eye's Prodigal]

Yep.

[Lissa Guillet]

Grrr.

[Signore di Fortuna]

It's like they wait until after business hours.

Well, time for some nighttime vigilantism...er, vigilance.

[Signore di Fortuna]

We need a forum Batman!

[El Ronza]

Just flagged ten posts from this guy.

And he's still at it in Off Topic, this guy just keeps on going like the Energizer bunny.

[El Ronza]

For lack of anything better to do, I'm just refreshing his posting history every now and again. He seems to have stopped for now, but I'll stay vigilant.

[Aberzombie]

Another one of those multi-spammers has polluted the off topic section.

[El Ronza]

Mikaze, my good sir, I approve of your tastes.

Quick, to the Batcave!

We need to feed these spam posts into the Bat Computer and it'll track them back to their source!

*Ping*

Hmmm, I was right! The spammers are coming from... inside the forum! *Dun Dun DUN!*

[Dragoncat]

He doesn't know when to quit.

[FuelDrop]

Not only is this stuff terrible, the spelling is horrible as well!

[Tordek Rumnaheim]

New one just popped up.

Here is the offending spammer's account.

[El Ronza]

He's not showing any signs of slowing down...

[Signore di Fortuna]

I think we need the CN Azrael/Batman.
